in thread Imager with JPEG support on Windows

Yes, I've tried to specify where the libraries are (via command line and by hardcoding them in the makefile) - in fact, I used the README's exact example and got an error:

'IM_INCPATH' is not a known MakeMaker parameter name.

Here's an example of the console output:

Set up gcc environment - 3.4.5 (mingw-vista special r3) done. gif: includes not found - libraries not found ungif: includes not found - libraries not found jpeg: includes not found - libraries not found png: includes not found - libraries not found tiff: includes not found - libraries not found freetype2: includes not found - libraries not found freetype2: not available T1-fonts: includes not found - libraries not found TT-fonts: includes not found - libraries not found w32: includes not found - libraries not found EXIF support enabled 'IM_INCPATH' is not a known MakeMaker parameter name.

I guess basically what I'm looking for are step by step working instructions to install JPEG support in Imager. Unfortunately, everything I find online either doesn't work or is written for *nix.

    You haven't shown how you start the Makefile.PL and what values you set $ENV{IM_INCPATH} to.

      I've tried a hundred different things and none of them worked. I started the Makefile.pl exactly as described in the manual and other ways (different flags) and $ENV{IM_INCPATH} has been set to many different paths as well (both legitimate directories and not). Results were always the same. I've already dumped the libjpeg installation and Imager and am starting fresh (again).

        It's fine that you've tried a hundred different things of which none worked. But why do you refuse to show us even a single such attempt? Installing Imager on Windows from source worked for me back with v0.63 and I doubt that it stopped working now.
